The Elongated Tortoises were confiscated from an illegal trade case in November 2012 by Binh Phuoc Province FPD while the Gibbons were handed over to Cu Chi Wildlife Rescue Station from illegal captivity in 2011 by Ho Chi Minh City and Binh Duong Provincial FPDs. Both of these species are classified as “endangered” in Vietnam Red Book.

The Civets were confiscated from illegal trade by Cu Chi District FPD, Ho Chi Minh City in April 2013, while the Owls were voluntarily handed over by a local people three months ago. In the wild, the individual numbers of Civets and Barn Owls are steadily reduced because of illegal hunting for pet and meat. The two species are facing the threat of extinction unless they are seriously protected.
